What if they ever do want to collect the money we owe them? That's an even worse scenario.
Their infantry alone is one million men, not counting the other branches of their military. And their kung fu skills are surperior.

A couple things:
who's talking about war with China. If that happened it would be because China declared war first, or demanded full debt repayment, or some crazy thing. The current war talk is with N. Korea, who even China is having a hard time supporting publicly.
second one million men are not as critical when they can't effectively transport them for a ground war in the US.
third can you say neutron bomb. I always have thought a little thinning of the herd - so to say - wasn't a bad idea. (ok that's kidding by the way)
the deficit/debt is not solved by a one sided answer. All sides need to agree to trim/cut/in some cases slash, both defense and the welfare state. but of course that won't happen so you might as well ignore it and live abundantly until the inevitable crash.
